I Tried the $66 Lightning Lane Hack That Disney Experts Swear By

By Leave a Comment

If there’s one thing every Disney World guest knows, it’s that the most popular rides come with the longest wait times.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

We’ve seen popular attractions have up to 2-hour waits during peak seasons, while Magic Kingdom is packed with classics that draw huge lines all day long. That’s where Lightning Lane comes in. It’s Disney’s skip-the-line system, and it can help you make the most of your time in the parks. I’ve purchased Lightning Lane over 30 times, and this is one hack I will continue to do, because it saves hours of waiting and makes a Disney day so much smoother.

The BIG Problem With Rope Dropping Magic Kingdom’s Most Popular Ride

By Leave a Comment

Rope dropping your favorite ride at Disney World might sound like the perfect solution, but we’re asking you to pump the brakes on that, as it could affect your expected experience!

TRON Lightcycle / Run

Most of the time, when you think about rope dropping a ride or attraction at Disney World, you’re looking for the fastest route possible through the standby line so you can get on to the next. If you’re not using Lightning Lane MultiPass or Single Pass, this could be a great alternative to get a jump start on your day. However, we’ve got a word of warning to those who choose to rope drop popular rides, and it comes at a place where you might least expect it.

I’ve Tried Every Ride Hack in Disney World, and I’m Sharing the 3 That Work Every Time

By Leave a Comment

Disney World is named “The Most Magical Place on Earth” for a reason, but let’s be honest — those attraction lines? Yeah, those are often FAR from magical.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

Disney is a crowded place most days, and that means attraction wait times get LONG. It’s not uncommon to see wait times over an hour, sometimes an hour and a half, and for some attractions, wait times above two hours are not surprising. When you’ve only got a limited amount of time in the park, though, how can you make sure you make the most of your time and AVOID spending hours in line when you can? Sure, you can buy Disney’s Lightning Lane service to skip the lines, but if you’re traveling on a budget or just want to avoid the stress of booking them, here are our top three tips for getting on some of the most popular rides with lower wait times that don’t cost an extra cent!

Why Everyone Will Be RUNNING to This Spot in Magic Kingdom at 8:30 AM

By Leave a Comment

Your Magic Kingdom day can be the most stressful on your Disney World trip. Magic Kingdom has the most rides, and it can be hard to try to fit them all into a single visit.

TRON Lightcycle / Run

One way to get in some extra park time can be with Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours. While Extended Evening Hours is only for select Disney World Resorts, every guest staying at any Disney World Resort gets 30 minutes of extra time before the park opens. Once you scan in, where should you start?

We’re WORRIED About Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane Rules in Disney World

By Leave a Comment

There’s been a big shift at Magic Kingdom and it has us thinking 5 years ahead.

Magic Kingdom

In case you missed it, there are currently no more Virtual Queues at Disney World.

But, we could see the effects of this for a while — let us explain.

4 Magic Kingdom Souvenir Kiosks Mysteriously CLOSED in Tomorrowland

By Leave a Comment

In the battle of roller coasters, it seems like there is a clear winner when we’re talking about the newest additions to Disney World. Yes, TRON Lightcycle / Run opened AFTER Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (sheesh — these names are a MOUTHFUL!), but it seems like people favor the EPCOT coaster over the Tomorrowland ride in Magic Kingdom. In fact, one of the exclusive TRON souvenirs in Magic Kingdom is totally unavailable right now…and it’s NOT because it sold out.

Tomorrowland

Tucked away in the Tomorrowland Launch Depot, Disney hosts a special TRON Identity Program where you can customize your own TRON-inspired action figure at the Grid Digitization Portal. While this activity is still relatively new, it seems to be a rather unpopular souvenir. Recently, we noticed that all of the TRON Identity Program “Portals” were closed. What’s going on with this souvenir?!
